A Study on Nora's character change in Henrik Ibsen's a doll's house

The message in A Doll?s House which is passed on is about the equality for
women. Through this study, I am curious to know how Nora changes, as the main
character and the reason of her to change. Therefore, this study is conducted to
find out those issues. The discussion is carried on based on Nora?s motivation to
change and the struggle or clashes between men and the society paradigm
themselves. To facilitate and enhance this study, I use theory of psychology,
which highlights about one?s emotional being and the theory of conflict, which
stresses out about the clashes between the environment and Nora character.
Subsequently, on my findings, it is revealed that Nora changes herself gradually
from a feeble, frail, and dependable woman to a tough, strong-willed and
independent one. It all happened because she has fed up by being treated as a doll
by the men and by the social regulation set in the 18 th century. Finally, through
her solid persistence and determination, it turns out that as a final point, she
succeeds in finding her very own and truest identity and thus begins to live her
life happily without men?s control and judgments.
